(December 24, 2024) This is an amulet of amber long in the possession of a family named O'Connor in the town of Ennis. It was used as an amulet for the cure of sore eyes. It was also believed also to be helpful in childbirth. The last hereditary holder of the object presented it to his superior in the employment of the Board of Public Works, by name Finerty . From him it was purchased by a Cork jeweller, named J. H. Graves , and then passed ultimately to the British Museum , by way of the Londesborough Collection. It is egg- shaped and perforated for a cord.

English Translation

  1. A blessing upon
  2. Thorgrim
